What am I missing?

Tagging onto my last comment, my husband was scheduled to have a neuro-psych exam, but 10 minutes in he shut it down, saying the questions were insulting. When's I later asked his neurologist whether the exam was used more for research than for treatment possibilities, he got a little tongue tied. "Well, both" he said. I think it's more the former, but I've become fairly cynical during these last few years, so I may not be fair.

I have also wondered about this…my husband is scheduled for a neuropsych exam in January. His last was 2 years ago, when the diagnosis was MCI. I feel the next diagnosis will be different and he will feel depressed…wondering if we should cancel, since I’m not sure anything helpful to him as a patient will come of it. Would love to think something hopeful could come of the appointment, but call me sadly skeptical. Thank you for your comments!
